Overview
Pediatric Basic Life Support is a life-saving skill comprising of high quality CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and Rescue Breadths with Artificial External Defibrillator (AED).
- Bystander CPR - Bystander resuscitation plays a key role in out of hospital CPR. A study by Maryam Y Naim et all found out communities, where bystander CPR is practiced, have better survival outcomes in children less than 18 years from out of hospital cardiac arrest(CA)
- Two studies (Total children 781) concluded that about half of the Cardio-Respiratory arrests in children under 12 months occur outside the hospital.
- Good Prognostic Factor upon arrival at the emergency department-
- The short interval between arrest and arrival at the hospital.
- Less than 20 minutes of resuscitation in the emergency department.
- Less than 2 doses of epinephrine.

Changes made in the new AHA guidelines 2010,2015,2017,2019
According to the 2010,2015,2017,2019 Pediatric BLS Guidelines, the following changes were made and are followed:
Pediatric BLS algorithm for single and 2 or more rescuers
- For single rescuers start with 30 compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths.
- For 2 or more rescuers start with 15 compressions followed by 2 rescue breaths and then both rescuers should change the positions alternating between compressions and breathing every 2 minutes.
Change of order of A-B-C TO C-A-B
- A-B-C is airway, breathing, and compressions in that order. C-A-B is compression, airway, and breathing.
- This change was advised by the 2010 guidelines but in 2015 there is more evidence supporting this sequence of CPR.
- Evidence
- Manikin studies in both adult and children shows a decrease in time to achieve the first chest compressions by following C-A-B compared to A-B-C.
- The delay in getting to ventilation was of 6 seconds compared with the new C-A-B compared to A-B-C
Chest compression rate and depth
- Adult model for compression rate and depth is to be followed for pediatrics cases due to lack of evidence.
- More studies need to be found for the pediatric rate of compressions.
- A study by Sutton RM et al reported among 87 pediatric CPR of more than 8 years of age, found that compression depth greater than 51 mm for more than 60% of the compressions during 30-second epochs within the first 5 minutes was associated with improved 24-hour survival.[1]
Compression-only (Hands-Only) CPR [1]
- Adult BLS protocols advise for CPR-Only resuscitation to achieve more compressions.
- Pediatric cardiac arrest are majority due to asphyxia.[2] Hence for children, it is advised to continue with CPR with rescue breaths.
- If the rescuer is not trained or is not able to give rescue breaths then CPR-Only resuscitation is advised.
